1970's Rock Venues in Dallas

Can anyone tell me where the &quot;Travis St. Electric Company&quot;, &quot;The Electric Ballroom&quot; and the Paladium (NW hwy @ Abrahms maybe?) were located??
ALSO, I'm sure some of you who were teenagers or young adults in the early 70's, will find this list of concerts and the venues VERY nostalgic.. [gimarc.com]
Thanks,

Thanks for the Web site - sure went to a lot of those shows. I'm tempted to order those CDs. Travis St. Electric Company was on.....Travis. I remember seeing Tim Buckley at the Electric Ballroom but can't for the life of me remember where it was.

Faces was on Cedar Springs a few blocks north of Oak Lawn. Throckmorton crosses Cedar Springs within a block of where Faces was. The same location was called 57 Doors either immediately after or before it was known as Faces. 57 Doors was a progressive country music venue.

I lived on Roswell Court in the 70's (Cedar Springs/Throckmorton). What an interesting area it was back then - even more &quot;Bohemian&quot; than it is now. Faces showcased a lot of great local and national talent.

Yeah, that stretch of Cedar Springs was not so much of a gay community center as today, but known as a place to drive by and gawk at female prosty-toots walking around, a la Harry Hines (at night), eek.
During the day, us kids (around 1973) would often walk down that block to Passtime Billiards on Cedar Springs after school (Sam Houston Elementary on Throckmorton) to play pinball. lol.
Was too young to see bands then, but was aware of them thru older family members.
My first Bar was Gerties. On Lemmon or thereabouts..I remember it foggily.

Tim Buckley - very cool! I missed out on him back then. I don't know why. He was great!
To make up for not being &quot;in the know&quot; back then, the band I'm in just recently learned &quot;Move With Me&quot; off the &quot;Greetings From L.A. album! We love it!!

Anyone remember the Electric Circus in Lakewood or The Place Across The Street club that was turned into Le Bare. Wellingtons on NW Hwy,{Owned in part by Craig Morton. All were hot spots in the late 60s early 70s.

The Electric Circus was owned by the same people as the Circus in Fort Worth &amp; Denton (&amp; Harlows &amp; Travis Street in Dallas). Wellingtons would have had a longer life had it not been for the young couple that were shot &amp; left for dead - I think in the parking lot. She survived, he did not, nor did Wellingtons.

Pam,
Did you ever get to The Losers Club on Mockingbird. Tony Katterine used to bring in big name entertainment in the late 60s and early 70s.Also Mike Ditkas place off Inwood. The Sports Page i believe it was called.

Not too many people really &quot;got&quot; Tim B - He hated the &quot;Greetings from LA&quot; LP &amp; thought it too commercial &amp; that he was selling out. He died so young - then his son began performing and drowned. Would like to hear you do the msuic. p.s. I also saw Gino Vanelli there.
